Your links are bum.

Generators struggle and run inefficiently if underpowered. Try and leave a spare kW is my advice.

There you go I think you mean these?

If your looking for a quality genny that will be reliable and last years I would go for a 6.5 kva Honda GX 390 driven stephill generator

I had bought a similar geny January 15 and it's not up to the job. I wasn't convinced about the gutter vac method so I wasn't spending big at the time BUT I have now upgraded all the equipment and the Honda geny was the most expensive piece of equipment but it's a very important part.  The Honda Stephill 6.5 they sell is probably the best price you will get and it's on a next day delivery. SGS also didn't recommend their own branded equipment for professional use so the 2 year warranty will be out the window.

I wouldn't bother with a Genny..just use the customers electric

+1 i do that!

You have no real choice but to use a genny if using a 4200 watt wet vac though if wanting to use all 3 motors at once.
Even using a 3600 watt vac is pushing it on a 16 amp plug socket as is trying to draw more power than the rating allowed.

That is why now I prefer to only use upto 3000 watt wet vac's conected to customers electric.

The majority of the gutter cleaning jobs I've done the customers either had a job or a life so they wouldn't have been around to plug in a filthy extension lead.

Most houses have external power sources I find the ones who don't and are not home I get to leave a extension lead out the window or the letterbox..I've never had a problem..up to you if you wanna fork out on a Genny and lug it about

Totally agree and have never had a problem getting power, if I was gutter cleaning full time then I would certainly consider
a generator but not for add on work.

I think the real question we should be asking ourselves power wise is do we need to be totally independent or not as there are pros and cons for both.

Ironically when I was packing up after a long job a chap working on their electric gates walk's up to the front of the house with an extension lead and plugs it in to the external socket! I just laughed and then explained it to him.

There maybe times when you might think using a genny might come in handy but to be honest most of the time if you ask me they are not required if using a 3000 watt wet vac or below.

During the site survey and quotation process it's easy to find out which is the most practical source of power for each job as well as any access issues etc. Therefore explaining to customers the most suitable method/s going to be used, option for a power source, access etc can easily be sorted beforehand before booking any work in.

If you want to be totally independent power wise then buy & cart a genny about as each to their own. Likewise if not it's no big deal as people might make out to be.
